MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3 and MMM-Callmonitor-Current-Call

[Jose1701]

Hi,

I`m new to magicmirror and I like the CallMonitor a lot.

Everthing works fine for me except the arrows and colours. I installed MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3 and MMM-Callmonitor-Current-Call. I put the necessary information in the conifg as ou can see:

{
		module: 'MMM-Callmonitor-Current-Call',
		position: 'top_right',	// This can be any of the regions. Best results in left or right regions.
		config: {
			showDirection: "true",
			colorEnabled: "true",
		}
			
	},


{
		module: 'MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3',
		position: 'bottom_right',	// This can be any of the regions. Best results in left or right regions.
		header: "Letzte Anrufe", // This is optional
		config: {
			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
			showContactsStatus: "true",
            	  fritzIP: "192.168.178.1",
            	  showContactsStatus: "true",
            	  maximumCallDistance: "240",
                        maximumCalls: "4",
                        reloadContactsInterval: "1",
			showOutgoing: "true",
			colorEnabled: "true",
                        password: "******",
		}
	},

An idea what am I doing wrong?

Regards

Jose

@Jose1701 Dear Jose,
you are referring to my post but may I’m the wrong person.
You may ask the developer, @xIExodusIx, too.

As I’m not knowing exactly what your problem is, I just can guess what’s going on…
from configuration perspective I do not see an issue - mine is similar.
As I wrote before I only have ‘MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3’ in use, NOT ‘MMM-Callmonitor-Current-Call’,

For ‘MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3’ I’m aware of some problems, but I do not know if this aligns with your problems.

• do you have the right (actual) fork? in my case this was https://github.com/xIExodusIx/MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3.git
• I’m not sure if this is correct: In your config a username is missing. As far as I’m aware of you have to use a username/password combination - therefore I remember that I had to create a separate user for using the module.
• there were some requirements for the module - some python libraries as I remember correctly. - Do you have installed them in a proper version?

This is the “guessing” version.
If you could describe the “problem” more exact or concrete may we get other ideas…

Good luck!
Regards,
Ralf

Hi,

sorry for the late response but I was ill and laying in bed.

I will have a look. Actually I have the following “proofed”.

do you have the right (actual) fork? in my case this was https://github.com/xIExodusIx/MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3.git

Yes, I’m using this one, too.

Well, until now I didn’t need more. Everything is working fine except the arrows and colours. But I will see if sth. is needed.

I think I have the right ones and up to date but I will have a look, too.

Thanks so far.

Kind regards

Jose

That was the reason. Don`t know it shows the calls without a password but not the arrows.

Now everything is working fine.

Thanks a greets

@xiexodusix - I set up my MagicMirror from scratch and now wanted to integrate the FRITZ-Callmonitor to it, unfortunately with no luck. No calls are displayed, the phonebook has non-stop rotating icon. In the docker logs (Yes, I’m using latest MagicMirrorOS with integrated Docker) I get the following error:

[2026-01-11 02:10:11.646] [ERROR] [app] Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...

} 
[2026-01-11 02:10:11.686] [ERROR] [app] MagicMirror² will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection? 

As you can see, I have created username and password only for MM.

Starting fritzconnection from (host) commandline works, incomming calls are registered and shown in Terminal.

@Mathes75

probably python missing, see https://khassel.gitlab.io/magicmirror/faq/dependencies/#use-the-fat-image

You can change the image in the .env file.

[Mathes75]

@karsten13 to get this right: Using the fat image would have at least python on board. And to get everything to work I would need to add a script, adding the dependencies for MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3:

Execute npm install to install the dependencies.
(Optional) Execute sudo apt-get install python3-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev && sudo pip install --break-system-packages fritzconnection to allow access to your FRITZ!Box phone book and recent calls. This can take a few minutes.

Will definitely give it a try!

[Mathes75]

Hello @karsten13,
I have changed the docker image to fat in .env file. Unfortunately, after pulling the docker image, the script stopped with error: No such container: 1b169eacdb711[~35 more numbers/letters].
Magic Mirror stopped working :( What did I do wrong?

[karsten13]

@Mathes75

which script?

show content of “the script” and output of docker compose config

[Mathes75]

@karsten13
Sorry for being that unspecific. I changed the .env file in the “Docker image to use” section:

# Docker Images to use:
MM_IMAGE="karsten13/magicmirror:v2.34.0_fat"
LABWC_IMAGE="karsten13/labwc:latest"
MMPM_IMAGE="karsten13/mmpm:latest"
WATCHTOWER_IMAGE="ghcr.io/nicholas-fedor/watchtower:latest"

Executed cd /opt/mm/run && docker compose up -d --force-recreate and the download started. After successfully pulling the image, Terminal stopped here:
